GetDataBack (http://www.runtime.org/) saved my butt when 1 drive (out of 4 on a raid 5 array) failed and while a rebuild was occurring the power supply died! The array was toast but I was able to recover everything to another drive (good thing the MB had 6 sata connections!) - It took a few days to get the 800GB back, but I've never been so happy!
hey, if your boss is paying for it, buy a couple and replace them when they wear out (or just tell him you'll need a better, bigger, faster one in a year)
Hey reply'rs (another invented contraction!) I forgot to mark the previous msg ! But really, even email gets tedious when trying to get stuff done, after a few emails back and forth with a client, I just pick up the phone and hash it out. So much faster, easier and clearer. I usually follow up with an concise email for our records. I've gotten test messages from CEO's that unreadable and have to call them to find out what the hell they want. I can see in countries outside Canada & US where phone calls are much more expensive, but when I pay a flat rate for my office phone and low rates for cell usage (and skype for everything else), I have no need to use the telegram technology (oops, I mean texting) for modern communication. Oh ya, I talk to my Dad (and other people I care about)
PS: If you notice this: "from the stop-texting-me-dammit dept." in the story header, then I think my original comment isn't off topic!
I'm surprised no one's brought up Ultimate (Frisbee) A spinning disc has lift so th throw it to some one, you'd throw it down and it would rise to them!
Stores want you wander through them and buy the items on the ends of the isle and by the check-out. Next time you go to the store with your list, note where they are so that you next visit can be more efficient
Is it just me, or does anyone else see the craters as bubbles at first (convex instead of the proper concave)? I know they're craters, but it took about 30's to get my brain to see them as craters.
I just want an Off switch on my printers and scanners! Or if they do have one, put it in the front. I use my scanner once a month, it's crazy to leave it plugged in all the time (no power switch). My printer's power switch is way around at the back, hard to reach - I only print once or twice a week. At least my LCD has an off button on the front, but it is never really off.
The native resolution is 1920x1200 (from the features table) which makes it about 18 pixels per inch. On my 24" LCD, it works out to 80 pixels per inch.
Sure it's great to have a big image, but if it's still 1920x1200, the quality is no better than my 24" screen on my pc. I'll be impressed when the pixels size remains the same and they add more of them to make the screen bigger. Also, where's my 300dpi lcd screens?
I got this from a friend in the biz: Location: somewhere in the former Eastern Bloc (I can't remember the actual city) Film lands at airport and is sent out to a series of theaters via courier. Except that the courier van is actual a portable dubbing studio on wheels (worth 100's of k's). The pirates took a couple of hours to do all the deliveries and by that time had a pristine digital copy of the movie.
The way they were caught was the studio inserted unique frames in to every copy of the print made (1000's of prints around the world). They were able to nail it down to an area and then sent investigators to watch for the projectionist to make the copies. When that panned out, they finally figured out that it was being done by the courier company.
I just found this site yesterday: http://www.hardwareranking.com/ while looking for reviews of Syncmaster 244T It seems to pull in reviews from many different sources.
I've seen a few articles on it but what I'm really interested in is how they do the scrolling. I'd like to build a slideshow based on the same priciples: load only the image the browser is currently showing and when the user scrolls the image left or right, load the proper image and get rid of the older ones. I've seen all the buzzwords (xmlhttprequest,dhtml,xml, ajax, etc.) but not any actual examples of code. Cheers.

- 5 passenger
- mid size and safe
- 500km range
- a/c and heat
- charge up at home and work
- under $20,000
Like having 2 people create a tiny web page where text is an image!
"Computer, Zoom in"
... or /24 if you prefer
I only use about 15 of the possible 253 ip addresses - the rest is wasted - I used to need them way back when there was no web multihoming though.
This would make a good poll:
Q: What percentage of your allotted IP space do you actually use?
Hmm, Slashdot got rid of my cranky on and off tags!

The next few months in North America will be colder than the last few months.

Viewing distance will make up for some of that.

Hmmm, their website seems to be down.
...why don't they just make stuff out of it.
Here's the site:
http://atlas.asp.net/default.aspx?tabid=47
You'll get lots of info by looking at the page source. For example, this is in the code:
+ "_"+y+"_"+zoom+".jpg";}
(Sorry, I had to remove the formatting to get around the slashdot whitespace filter)
yourMapType.getTileURL = function (x, y, zoom){
if (zoom>13) {return "http://mapwow.com:4382/gmap/zoom_in.jpg";}
else if ( (x0) || (y0)) {return "http://mapwow.com:4382/gmap/water.jpg";}
else {return "http://mapwow.com:4382/gmap/zoom"+zoom+"maps/"+x
Websites based on templates!?! No wonder most of the internet looks similar...
